The driver of a Chevy Cobalt, identified as 58-year-old Faye Johnson, had traveled into an area of the road that was flooded with about 3 feet of rain, Capt. Robert Stewart said. The car was pushed into a flooded ditch, trapping Johnson and 23-year-old Kaleesha Powell inside, Stewart said.

Powell was able to escape the vehicle, but Johnson had to be rescued, Stewart said.

Vicksburg resident Ray Atwood said Woodbine Street often floods.

"I've seen it go about 10 feet from the house," Atwood said.

He said the high water apparently caught Johnson, who he said delivers the newspaper, by surprise.

"It was dark. I didn't know the water had come up until (Johnson) knocked on the door," Atwood said.

Neither woman was injured.

Crews worked to clean up a mudslide Thursday on Mission 66 in Warren County.

There were also several reports of trees down and power outages in Warren and Adams counties.

Natchez police said a tree fell on a house and a car on Bishop Street, but no one was injured.
